ELLE's favorite beauty trends of the season are pretty polished

The Look: "I was so determined to use blush this season. No more sallow skin!" says makeup artist Pat McGrath, who prettied up cheeks with a wash of rose at shows from Anna Sui to Stella McCartney.

Seen At: Anna Sui, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Threeasfour

DIY: Beware the fine line between gorgeous and garish, says McGrath, P&G global creative design director. Color should be blended thoroughly in an upward motion along the cheekbone. "Go for a peachy neutral pink. It gives a cast of color that works on everyone."
